It's New Zealand you Muppet. We don't use pounds.

I don't get this opposition. You'd do something else, wouldn't you? Why would you consider always going to the lowest common denominator just because someone might have a flip phone?

If the options are "rely on an app", "don't rely on an app", and you can't do the first because your phone can't do that for whatever reason, you fall back to the second. But if you can do the first in a particular case and it works better for that case, why wouldn't you? It's wrong to use the better solution as a last resort, it's better to use the best solution that is available to the situation.

Surprisingly, it has zero according to Privacy Badger (though I also have uBlock origin, so if it's only ad trackers, I might not be getting them anyway.)

Even if the driver was texting, they can't be expected to be paying that much attention. When you're the passenger in a car, how much time do you spend actually keeping attention as though you're driving? Very little, I'm sure. Being ostensibly in control, but having nothing to keep your intention engaged (like actual driving does) is almost necessarily going to lead you to missing things like this, and hence disaster.

"What is dead cannot die bias" perhaps?

Basically, the Dunning-Kruger effect applies to many people who cite the Dunning-Kruger effect, regarding the Dunning-Kruger effect.

How can something that doesn't exist be "alpha quality"?

I think it was hard to do with their old add-on model (the one that other people here are complaining about going away) making it hard to implement major design changes like this, and so hopefully they'll be doing the catchup quickly now.

There is no point exploiting the issue if you're already in a position to change the microcode. You're already on the wrong side of the airtight hatchway.

I've been thinking the same. I just bought a nice tablet, and am looking for good larger form things to use with it. So far, I have a handful of newsy type sites bookmarked, and a subscription for The Guardian (€15/mo, which provides an OK app that mixes the linear newspaper flow with the advantages of being on digital) for breakfast reading. I've been wanting to add something like, I dunno, National Geographic or New Scientist or something to that, but I have to be choosy before it ends up costing more than I want to spend.

I think the days of having a single newspaper and perhaps a magazine or so subscription should go away (now that there's not really quite the same concept of local), but the prices don't reflect that. I think if they were more like €3-5/mo I'd subscribe to a lot more. I already have a few things on Patreon etc, so it's not like I'm unwilling. But €15 feels big enough to not want to do it to many times over.

Don't be so mercantile. It's ridiculous.

Not really directed at you specifically, but the large amounts of "oh, it's all about the money" sentiment in this thread. Could it be that they'd like to not see someone die if they're at all in doubt? If you make the wrong choice in one direction, there's no going back.

This post is at +4 Insightful. It should really be -4 Ignorant.

Paper maps -- maybe road maps aren't as common, but any hiker typically gets a paper maps of a park, and maps of buildings like museums are often given out.

I live in a touristy city. I can confirm that paper maps are still alive and well.

Liked!

Yeah, I use it a lot. I find it has a better signal-to-noise ratio than things like facebook.
